## One Codebase, Not Three

| | Website + iOS + Android | **PWA** |
|---|---|---|
| Codebases | 3 | 1 |
| Store Review | Before launch and before each update | None on the web: a fix goes live when I deploy |
| Store Cut | Up to 30% | None: payments run through your own checkout |
| Bluetooth, NFC, Advanced Camera | Yes, in the native apps | Limited: that's a native developer's job |

## Six Weeks to a Live App

| When | Step | What Lands |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | On Your Phone | Sign-in, the data and the install setup: it installs on your phone |
| Weeks 2-3 | The Core | The screens and data your users need first |
| Week 4 | Offline & Speed | Works offline, loads fast, retries failed saves, updates itself |
| **Weeks 5-6** | Launch | Hosting, push, analytics, Firestore cost review: live for real users |

## Who It's For

**Right For**

- Mobile-first ideas: portals, booking tools, marketplaces, AI chat

- A web app that now has to install and work offline

- A product that outgrew Bubble, Glide or Notion

- Users without signal, like field crews

**Better Elsewhere**

- Hardware as the core: Bluetooth, NFC *A native developer*

- Stacks outside JavaScript and TypeScript *A developer of that stack*

## How It Works

A simple, predictable and transparent process that eliminates development headaches.

1. **Subscribe** — After subscribing, you get a dedicated task board. It becomes your app's roadmap.
2. **Setup** — The app and its accounts set up in your name, or a review of your existing code.
3. **Plan & Develop** — You set the priorities. I turn them into tasks and work through them one by one.
4. **Review & Refine** — You test each task on your phone. I revise until you're satisfied.
5. **Progress** — You approve finished work. Weeks five and six go to the launch.
6. **Maintain** — You report issues anytime; I handle them first. App Store versions become tasks after launch.

## FAQ

### How much does it cost to build a PWA?

$997/week: six weeks to launch is $5,982. Running costs stay under $100 a month for most early products.

### How long does a PWA take?

Six weeks to launch a new build, with the scope cut to fit. It's on your phone from week one; the free [build cost tool](/discovery/build-cost) sizes your scope.

### PWA or native app?

Native if the core depends on hardware like Bluetooth or NFC: [one test](/principles/discovery/find-the-core) settles it. Otherwise a PWA.

### Can a PWA go on the App Store?

Yes, after launch, as a layer on the same code. Google Play takes a wrapped PWA; Apple often rejects thin wrappers, so iPhone needs a native wrapper with real phone features.

### Is PWA still relevant?

Yes: it runs wherever a browser does. See one: open [fidder.app](https://fidder.app), my own RSS reader, and add it to your home screen.

### How do users install it on iPhone?

In Safari: Share, then Add to Home Screen. Push works from there; new features reach iPhone later than Android.

### Will it work offline?

Yes, when it's built in: Firestore keeps a local copy and syncs it back. A [barcode scanner I built](/jurij/p/the-algorithm-that-transformed-warehouse) loaded all its data onto the device up front.

### Can my web app become a PWA?

Often, if it's JavaScript or TypeScript. Week one goes to reading the code; then install, offline and push land as tasks. Bubble or Glide means a new build.

### How much of my time does it take?

Little: you test and set the next priority. [Async-first](/principles/partnership/async-first), with no standups.

### What if it isn't right?

I revise until you're satisfied. If it still isn't right, [cancel with no penalty](/jurij/p/what-happens-when-a-client-wants-to-stop-or-pause); the code and the Firebase project stay yours.

### How do I get started?

Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=pwa-development-faq), about a minute: say which phones your users carry and whether they work without signal. I reply the next working day; if it fits, with a first plan and a call invite.

## [Founders × Varstatt](https://varstatt.com/x/founders)

PWA Development fits founders best: people building a product without a technical co-founder.

- **[Fractional CTO](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/fractional-cto)** "No one makes the technical calls." The calls and the code, every week.

- **[Prototype](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/prototype-development)** "An idea nobody has clicked." The core flow on a live link in one week, one payment.

- **[MVP Development](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/mvp-development)** "An idea, ready to test with paying users." The smallest real product, launched in week 6.

- **[SaaS Development](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/saas-development)** "Ready to build the whole product." Launched in week 6, then built on real feedback.

- **PWA Development (this page)** "Phones, without three separate apps." One app that installs from a link.

- **[Vibe Coding Rescue](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/project-rescue)** "An app stuck, unsafe, or left by its developer." The bleeding stopped and a plan, in one paid week.

- **[App Modernization](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/app-modernization)** "A V1 that holds the product back." V2 built beside it, until every user moves.

- **[Tech Due Diligence](https://varstatt.com/x/founders/tech-due-diligence)** "A raise or a purchase on the calendar." What diligence will find, ranked, in one paid week.
